The Thrill Is Gone: MSM's Disillusionment with Teh Won

Roeser posts a long essay surveying the MSM's relationship with the last several Presidents.

They came to see a man consumed with his personal destiny on the World Stage, is bored with details, the nuts and bolts of legislation, the necessity for schmoozing with congressional leaders. He wants his staff to do his heavy lifting, not him. He wants to concentrate not on just being president but on becoming a kind of guru to the world, a kind of Woodrow Wilson who didn’t lose his League of Nations, a Nelson Mandela.

In contrast to this Dreamer personage, media…even mainstream…are slowly coming to their senses. They see…at least some of them do…that we are the only nation capable of exercising global leadership to keep the peace.
